The company\u2019s internship program, which has hosted 1,618 interns since 2012, has long been a key tool for Phillips 66\u2019s talent pipeline, with interns making up nearly 85% of the company\u2019s new full-time hires who are straight out of college.<\/p>\n<p>Houston Marketing intern and Kennesaw State University senior Jalen Lawrence said landing the internship this year gave him a sense of relief after a year where some companies canceled programs due to COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInternship prospects were pretty scarce last year,\u201d Lawrence said. \u201cSo far I have had a lot of exposure to great people who are not only knowledgeable in their respective fields, but also personable and fun to work with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Emily Hillebold, a returning intern at the Bayway Refinery and a senior at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, echoed a similar sentiment, saying that she was thrilled to have the opportunities to intern both this year and last as the program is vital to building her professional aptitude.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is incredible how much you learn in the refinery compared to the classroom setting,\u201d Hillebold said. \u201cThe company has been absolutely amazing, especially in these uncertain times.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year\u2019s 11-week summer program marked the return to in-person
